You hummed tunelessly as you walked down the vacant road, staring at the sakura trees.

"They'll be in full bloom soon..." You muttered to yourself, thinking about how beautiful the sakura trees would look in a matter of days.

"Woof, woof!" A dog barked energetically, running in your direction. Wait? Running in your direction?

"Pochi! Come back here this instant!" Someone demanded breathlessly.

So the dog's name was Pochi? That was adorable.

"Woof!" Pochi barked again, continuing to run towards you.

"Pochi!" The person yelled warningly.

The dog stopped right in front of you, panting and looking at you with anticipation, then all of a sudden, jumped into your arms, causing you to stumble backwards. "Easy there." You said soothingly, petting the dog on its head, the small dog responded by snuggling into your arms, wanting nothing more than for you to hold him and mother him.

Then someone rounded the corner, panting heavily, and trying to run as fast as he can.

"Pochi..." he panted, "Why did you suddenly run off?" The boy bent over, panting heavily. After a few seconds, he stood straight, fixing his bangs so they were out of his eyes. "Ah!" he said sharply, looking at the dog in my arms. "P-Pochi! W-What are you doing?" The boy's face looked worried. "Shitsurei shimashita." [I am sorry] He bowed, apologizing for what he had done. "My dog had suddenly ran off and he must have to you!" He looked in your eyes, desperate to hear what you would reply with. You stared into his eyes, his beautiful chocolate-brown eyes, you felt captivated by them, and the blush on his face! It made him look so cute!

"Ano, are you feeling okay?" The boy tilted his head, making him look even more adorable.

"Huh? Oh, sorry, yeah, um..." You said, looking away from his eyes, and anything else besides his eyes. Remembering the he dog named 'Pochi', you handed him over to the Japanese boy, your face starting to feel a bit warmer than usual.

"Arigatou gozaimasu." [Thank you] He said sheepishly, taking Pochi into his arms.

"Douitashimashite." [You're welcome] You say a bit timidly.

"Ah, you know some Japanese?" The Japanese boy asks, showing a bit of interest in his voice.

"Hai, watashi wa nihongo o sukoshi shitte iru." [Yes, I know a bit of Japanese]

"Anata no onamae wa nandesuka." [What is your name?]

"(N-Name)" You stutter out, accidently locking eyes with the other boy.

"My name is Kiku Honda, it is very nice meeting you." said Kiku, switching back to English.

"Is that your dog? I heard his name was Pochi." You ask curiously.

"Hai, he is my dog." Pochi meowed quietly, as Kiku placed him on the ground, making sure to grab his leash.

"D-did it just...meow?" You ask, now getting confused. A dog...meowing?

Kiku looked confused for a second, but then he nodded slowly, "Yes, he just meowed. I don't know why he meows like a cat, he is a dog."

"That's strange."

"It is." Kiku looked at his wristwatch, "Watashi wa okuremasu." [I'm going to be late] He said worriedly. Late? Late for what?

"I'm sorry, but I have to go. I hope I can see you again." Kiku said quietly, blush creeping on his face.

"Okay, sayonara." You give a small wave as Kiku runs off.

And after he left, your face flushed with embarrassment.

A/N What is your opinion on this? Is it good or bad, or OK? Tell me please!

So to those who read A/N, you will know, that I will not be posting chapter 2 for a while~ It is because of writer's block.
